Seattle Vacation 2009: Mariners Game with the Baker Family

We had so much fun going to the Mariners game on Monday night that we bought the same seats for Wednesday night and went with my cousin, Megan and her family! Brian and Jared took the two older boys early and went to batting practice.

Both Brayden and Andrew each got a ball so they were VERY excited!

Megan and I came later and boy were we a sight to see! Megan told it best, "Each of us had a diaper bag and a baby strapped to our bodies. We took a self-portrait, but I will spare you all that one. At one point, a group of older men passed us. One of them was laughing as he saw us. I am sure they thought we were crazy, die-hard baseball fans who just couldn't miss a game and packed our babies along with us. Which might not be too far from the truth."

Of course once we got there the husbands wanted to enjoy the game so we took Brayden, Andrew, and Easton for a walk around the park. They asked almost EVERY usher they saw for a baseball card and got quite a little collection started! They played in the kids play area until "THE INCIDENT." (I will spare you all the details of that fun!) Then we just had to stop into the store and both the boys found these...

Of course they wanted the foam fingers but we decided to pass on those!

My boys enjoyed the game...it was a great night although REALLY hot!

Brayden LOVES drinks! That's why we are CONSTANTLY stopping at gas stations and fast food places to use their restrooms!

The seats around us weren't full so we spread out a bit and of course the boys wanted to sit with Megan. I went to get a picture and of course the drunk guy wanted in on it too! He and his buddies were actually really nice and in the first inning caught a foulball and gave it to Megan's little guy, Joshua.

As you can see, Brayden got a new Mariner's shirt that night (a Ken Griffey one) and Andrew got a Mariner's hat so these boys were all decked out in their matching gear! They had a great time watching the action on the field!

These guys had a great time together and we only wish we lived closer!

We mostly saw their backs while they were watching the action.

We took their picture after the game together.

And here's a group shot of all of us!

Now these two held hands and walked out of the game together until we got to our cars! People were stopping us to ask if they were twins! A friendly usher gave them more baseballs cards and the little boys, Easton and Joshua, even got their first baseball cards!

Thanks for a fun night guys! Let's do it again soon! We need to save these pictures and show them all the fun they had when there were little when it's time for them to be at BYU together! Can you imagine the 3rd generation of Leavitt cousins at BYU?!?
